    Scanning Microfiche

    H Guys

    Not sure I put this in the right place of the forum so if the moderator whats to move it please do.I am looking at making myself a scanner to scan Microfiche. There are commericail versions out there like:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5uiMLT2VwI"]YouTube - DRS Digitiser[/ame]

    Basically it uses a 2 axis table with a cctv camera to scan the images . What I want to know is if anyone knows about different lenses I could use . I played around with a standard cctv camera used for surveillance the other day and it could easliy see hair follicles. The images I want to scan in are 48x maginifaction fiche's


    Any help with choosing a camera and lense would be helpful

    This unit has the lenses, lights, is complete and cheap because the next place it goes is in the trash can. Under $60 includes shipping.
